Audio: “Pranking” Planned Parenthood

posted at 3:30 pm on February 28, 2008 by Allahpundit

It’s like a Sarah Silverman joke come horribly to life (so to speak). Stick with it, as it starts semi-innocently as a misunderstanding about the donor’s intent and then segues into something out of an especially mordant episode of “Crank Yankers.” The Ron Paul/Nazi dilemma revisited: Is it okay to take money from evil people if it’s used for good ends? “Good ends” in this case being feticide, natch.

Blowback

I thought it was hilarious. It’s not like the guy was really going to make the donation. The more ways that word gets out about what Planned Abortionhood really is the better. This really shows that the people working there are in complete denial that a human life is being taken during each abortion.

How dare anyone do such a reprehensible thing and put those poor fund-raisers in such an uncomfortable situation and then have the audacity to record and publish it. Just goes to show you that people against abortion are all hateful, racist, clinic-bombing liars. This is the kind of hate-speech that America should not tolerate.

This is a great idea, but it may leave some people with the impression of:

The best part is that PP will have to show this to all their own people so that they don’t get pranked again. Hopefully it will get some of them thinking. If not, I can’t wait to hear one where someone faking that typical whiney sounding liberal affect calls wanting to donate in a red state to even out the Roe effect.

There is no good reason on Earth why American taxpayers have to pay to fund the abomination known as Planned Parenthood. Let ‘em rely on public donations. If it’s so important to the pro-choicers, let them pay for it.

Most people have little idea of Margaret Sanger’s penchant for eugenics, so thanks, locomotivebreath.

Also, it wasn’t too long ago that there was another sting on PP where the callers claimed to be underage girls who had become impregnated by much older men. PP, in clear violation of statutory rape laws, simply offered the abortion, even when the girls wondered aloud if becoming pregnant by these older men would cause trouble. PP assured them that there were no legal problems with their obtaining abortions, that they didn’t have to worry that their “boyfriends” (legally considered molesters)would be reported, despite clear laws that dictated otherwise.

I think Margret Sanger would be proud. I have read qiute a bit about Sanger( as much as I could stomach ). She was a sick woman, and her views have basically been executed to perfection. From the start her plan was to target ministers and black leaders to promote her vision of what was best for the black community.

As usual the anti abortion crowd cannot see how sick and depraved they’ve become.

Yes…wanting fetuses to survive gestation and become honest to goodness human beings. Wanting people to be accountable for their actions. Wanting to help people unable to have children adopt from women who don’t want their children. Hoping that people will avoid the heartache, depression, and thoughts of suicide that often follow terminating a pregnancy.

These calls, presumably made by Christians and conservatives, make the anti abortion activists appear bigoted, racist, and heartless.

Not a huge fan of Christians or conservatives eh? The calls certainly lack tact, but they’re revealing of the mindset of one person in a clearly morally bankrupt organization. No amount of crazy protesting on the part of pro-lifers will change how wrong sucking babies out of women with a vacuum or driving a tiny-spike into tiny skulls is…racially motivated or otherwise.

Actually, the song is about an ice cream truck driver. He’s worried that if there are not enough babies, he will be out of a job selling ice cream to kids.

The most important and key lesson in the song is this part:

Preacher on a corner
Calling it a crime
Says, “The end don’t justify the means anytime”
I stood up on my van
I yelled, “Excuse me, sir.
Ain’t nothing wrong with this country
That a few plastic explosives won’t cure.”

Politeness, training, does not equate to knowingly accepting donations for a racist cause. I hope the women who were accepting the money quit after they thought about what they allowed the caller to perpetrate. Dignity should trump minimum wage.

The shock value is limited because people just ignore or avoid them after a while. People will no longer listen to them because their righteousness excuses their offensive behaviour. It’s a great way to scare people away from what you have to say.

Sorry, but the copy I watched didn’t have any dismembered fetuses. Simple fact is that humor has always been an effective way to get an uncomfortable fact across. Whether this approach works, only time will tell, but I saw nothing objectionable about it. I have certainly enjoyed the many videos of prank answers to calls from telemarketers, and prank calls are standard fare on talk shows, even though they’re a little below even my standards. Maybe I have been desensitized to the wanton violence of prank calls in our society. To paraphrase the Pope, we live in a culture of juvenile humor.

How dare anyone do such a reprehensible thing and put those poor fund-raisers in such an uncomfortable situation and then have the audacity to record and publish it. Just goes to show you that people against abortion are all hateful, racist, clinic-bombing liars. This is the kind of hate-speech that America should not tolerate.

I see. It is NOT racist to take money from somebody who tells you they want to kill as many black babies as possible then use the money they get to ACTUALLY kill black babies but it IS racist to expose that kind of behavior? The only hate I saw was the hate of PP for babies. And if that is lying then every undercover news report ever done is lying also. BTW I didn’t see anybody blow up a clinic, do you have ‘special’ vision or something?

This really isn’t racist, on either side. The caller is exploiting the legitimate loathing of racism on both the right and left to show that PP will take money from anyone without qualms, even from someone who wants to make a eugenic gift in his son’s name. I’m sorry, but that’s clever and funny. Some of Jonathan Swift’s humor was too much for me, but this isn’t.

Planned Parenthood (PP) is and has been a disgraceful organization. The Traditional Family Values Coalition website has a section of audio tapes (under “Worth Reading” left side page), which exposes PP for covering up child sex abuse. Included are many examples from various PP sites all over CA.

A branch in SF also produced a video for children entitled, “Superhero for Choice” and it was anti-Christian and filled with sexual undertones. It is a sickening organization and I resent the fact that it receives taxpayer money.

Anyone else notice the slick use of the background music? How Le Tigre’s driving beats start to fade in right at the point where “Autumn” starts going on about “wonderful fantastic news” in the world of assassinating minority babies?

Brilliant.

Margaret Sanger to Dr. Clarence Gamble, 1939:

We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members…

Yes, little Johnny, it’s twue. Sorry for delicate ones who couldn’t handle the truth, but here it is. None of the PP employees could muster a “Go to hell, you sickening racist SOB, and take your money and buy some new sheets”.

But leave the racist aspect out of it for a moment and remember how giddy-happy these ladies are that someone is sponsoring the death of a baby. (Retch). These people are ghouls. The racist script only serves to magnify their sickness.

You can always tell who the pro-death crowd are. They always refer to pro-life groups as anti-abortion and try to enlighten us with how to get a point across. Tell me Kaptain Amerika, how do you make the point that PP is willing to take any ghoul’s money to have the opportunity to kill a minority baby? These are the same people(PP) that were selling t-shirts “I had an abortion”. Stay classy.

Anyone who considers rending a child from their mother’s womb, most likely doing irreperable emotional and sometimes physical harm to the woman and slaughter the child outright is the one who needs “help.”

The sad fact is that there are people defending abortion and PP in this thread. People that support PP should be embarassed to interact in polite society. Sadly they happily announce their support for eugenics, murder and racism while they wrap themselves in some warped sense of privacy and choice.

It reminds me of the joke ‘now that we’ve established what you are, let’s negotiate the price’.

I don’t buy that everyone that works for PP is a promoter of eugenics. However, I will agree that they will take any dime for what they do, no matter where it comes from.

Those folks answering the phone don’t give a crap why the money comes to them, just as long as it comes. They’re so devoid of human character that they must think that the end justifies the means, even if the means smack of evil.

The whole idea of donating money to an abortion facility to support the abortion of a minority baby in the name of blatant racism makes me want to vomit…even if the callers were yanking chains to make a point. It’s all beyond disturbing.
